Why did I want to read it?
Found it on Commoncog newsletter (What The CEO Wants You To Know - Commoncog). Since I felt that my business background is not that great and this is a “tree book” (which I love… see 📖 Fundamentals of Software Architecture. An Engineering Approach), it was a good opportunity to take up on this.
What did I get out of it?
It’s definitely a book to work on (and unfortunately, at the time of writing this, I have better topics to devote time to).
3. Every business is the same inside: the four things every company everywhere needs to master
- Customers
- Cash generation
- Return on invested capital
- Growth
Other notes
Lex Wesxner named its company “Limited” (the holding of Victoria’s Secret, among others) because we would only stock profitable items. (p. 26)
